A Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout jigsaw puzzle posted on social media was quickly solved by gamers, revealing the theme of the upcoming Season 5.
The puzzle was posted on the game’s official Twitter account. The tweet included a link for players to download 1,200 images, which, when pieced together, reveal the upcoming season’s main theme. In only an hour and 12 minutes, fans solved the affectionately named “Big Jigsawus” to discover Season 5 will take them on a jungle adventure.
Fall Guys quickly confirmed that the fans’ solution was correct by tweeting the completed puzzle and the official announcement. The promotional art for the upcoming season teases new skins, traps and environments corresponding with the new jungle adventure theme. Though the announcement did not include a release date, Season 5 is expected to begin soon after Season 4 ends on July 20.
This isn’t the first time Fall Guys used a jigsaw puzzle to announce a new season. Earlier this year, the development team at Mediatonic revealed Season 4 with another “Big Jigsawus,” which the game’s Discord community solved in a little over 10 hours. Season 4 of Fall Guys primarily features an ’80s theme, but it also introduced a highly-requested crossover with Among Us. It is unclear if Season 5 will branch out of its theme with similar post-launch crossovers.
Since its release, the battle royale platformer has released a plethora of post-launch content. The game is constantly adding new gameplay stages and cosmetics, many of which are based on the themes of the game’s competitive seasons. New costumes teased in the Season 5 art include explorers, pirates and a handful of new animals, while a swinging hammer hints toward Tomb Raider-style jungle temple defense traps. One character is shown swimming, potentially suggesting aquatic environments could play a role in Season 5’s new stages.
Other recent Fall Guys updates include Squad Mode, which allows players to team up with their friends to win victories as a group. The game also added Cuphead-themed skins earlier this year. In addition to its newest competitive season, Mediatonic is currently focusing on bringing Fall Guys to more consoles. The game is currently exclusive to PC and PlayStation, but the team plans to bring the game to Xbox and Switch later this year, though a release date has yet to be announced.
